It is important to realize that these are bullion coins. They are not the collectible and higher priced proof and uncirculated versions the US Mint sells directly to the public (although they bear the same design).
The above chart is not in error for 2009. While the Mint is producing a massive amount of bullion silver and gold bullions coins, it is yet to offer any platinum options ... and it will not in 2009.
On Oct. 6, 2009, the United States Mint announced that it would produce the proof collector version, but not the bullion. No explanation was provided in its release statement. For more read, 2009 Gold Buffalo & Platinum Eagles Scheduled.
